About UsBioDye's natural colours are the result of nine years of research and development. The fabrics are coloured only with natural dyes using non-toxic mordants to give the whole spectrum of colours that do not fade or bleed when machine washed. BioDye’s natural dyed fabric has other special properties such as UV-absorption, body odour suppression and mosquito-bite prevention. Dye-yielding plants have been identified that can be used to re-vegetate degraded forests and provide income to rural women collecting chromogenic leaves in a sustainable manner. The solid waste is used as manure and the treated waste-water meets parameters for irrigation. For the first time so many unique and attractive features are on offer to meet the expectations of an increasingly environment-conscious public. |

QualityCertificate of manufacture Natural Dye Resources uses 100% combed cotton yarn in its fabrics. Grey yarn/fabric is scoured with enzymes and bleached with hydrogen peroxide. The dyes are obtained from natural sources. No synthetic or nature-identical synthetic dyes (such as alizarin or synthetic indigo), chromium or copper mordants or synthetic finishes are used. Natural Dye Resources uses powdered myrobalan, aluminum salts and fermented iron for mordant. Leaves collected from plants growing on marginal land are used for yellow and earth colours.
Red hues are obtained from lac dye (purified from effluent of lac-resin manufactories) and stems/ground runners of Rubia sikkimensis and R. cordifolia. None of the plants used is on the IUCN-redlist of threatened
species or cites list. Fermented iron vinegar is used to colour the
substrate in black and grey shades. Blue is obtained by dipping the yarn/fabric in a natural indigo fermentation vat and oxidizing the leuco-indigo in air. The dyed yarn/fabric is washed in hot neutral biodegradable surfactant to remove unbound colour. The waste water is
treated to remove colour and reduce bod. The sludge is composted and used as manure and the clarified water is used for irrigation. The light, wash, wet-crock and perspiration fastness properties of the dyed
yarn/fabric are satisfactory to excellent. Fully dyed yarn/fabric
absorbs UV-light. The fabric is machine washable using gentle/hand-wash cycle at 30/c in iron-free water with a pH neutral soap or detergent devoid of bleaching agents. The washed fabric is to be dried in shade and away from contact with bare iron metal.
